1 Raja-raja 1
1 Kini Raja Daud sudah tua sekali. Meskipun ia diselimuti dengan kain tebal, ia tetap kedinginan.
Now King David was old and far on in years; and though they put covers over him, his body was cold.
2 Oleh karena itu para pegawainya berkata, "Yang Mulia, sebaiknya kami mencarikan seorang gadis untuk tinggal dengan Baginda dan merawat Baginda. Ia akan tidur bersama Baginda supaya Baginda merasa hangat."
So his servants said to him, Let search be made for a young virgin for my lord the king, to take care of him and be waiting on him; and you may take her in your arms, and so my lord the king will be warm.
3 Lalu dicarilah di seluruh Israel seorang gadis yang cantik. Maka di Sunem ditemukan seorang gadis yang cantik sekali bernama Abisag. Ia dibawa kepada raja, lalu ia menunggui raja dan merawatnya. Tetapi raja tidak bersetubuh dengan dia.
So after searching through all the land of Israel for a fair young girl, they saw Abishag the Shunammite, and took her to the king.
Now she was very beautiful; and she took care of the king, waiting on him at all times; but the king had no connection with her.
5 Karena Absalom sudah meninggal, maka Adonia, putra Daud yang kedua menjadi yang tertua. Ibunya bernama Hagit. Adonia adalah orang yang tampan. Ayahnya tidak pernah memarahinya kalau ia berbuat salah. Adonia ingin sekali menjadi raja, maka ia menyediakan untuk dirinya sejumlah kereta perang dan tentara berkuda serta lima puluh pengawal pribadi.
Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, lifting himself up in pride, said, I will become king; and he made ready his carriages of war and his horsemen, with fifty runners to go before him.
Now all his life his father had never gone against him or said to him, Why have you done so? and he was a very good-looking man, and younger than Absalom.
7 Lalu ia pergi berunding dengan Yoab dan Imam Abyatar. Ibu Yoab bernama Zeruya. Yoab dan Imam Abyatar setuju untuk mendukung usaha Adonia.
And he had talk with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they were on his side and gave him their support.
8 Tetapi Imam Zadok, Benaya anak Yoyada, Nabi Natan, Simei, Rei dan pengawal pribadi Raja Daud tidak memihak kepada Adonia.
But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet and Shimei and Rei, and David's men of war did not take the side of Adonijah.
9 Pada suatu hari di tempat yang bernama Batu Ular dekat mata air En-Rogel, Adonia mempersembahkan kurban domba, sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang gemuk-gemuk. Ia mengundang putra-putra Raja Daud yang lain, dan pegawai-pegawai istana dari suku Yehuda ke pesta kurban itu.
Then Adonijah put to death sheep and oxen and fat beasts by the stone of Zoheleth, by En-rogel; and he sent for all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants, to come to him:
10 Tetapi Salomo adiknya, dan Nabi Natan serta Benaya dan pengawal pribadi Raja Daud tidak diundangnya.
But he did not send for Nathan the prophet and Benaiah and the other men of war and Solomon his brother.
11 Maka Nabi Natan pergi menemui Batsyeba, ibu Salomo, lalu berkata kepadanya, "Apakah Sri Ratu belum mendengar bahwa Adonia, putra Hagit, sudah mengangkat dirinya menjadi raja, sedangkan Raja Daud tidak mengetahui apa-apa tentang hal itu?
Then Nathan said to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon, Has it not come to your ears that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has made himself king without the knowledge of David our lord?
12 Kalau Sri Ratu ingin supaya Salomo dan Sri Ratu sendiri selamat, saya nasihatkan
So now, let me make a suggestion, so that you may keep your life safe and the life of your son Solomon.
13 segeralah menghadap Raja Daud, dan mengatakan begini kepadanya: 'Bukankah Baginda sendiri sudah bersumpah kepadaku bahwa putraku Salomo akan menjadi raja menggantikan Baginda? Sekarang, mengapa Adonia yang menjadi raja?'"
Come now, go to King David and say to him, Did you not, O my lord, take an oath to me, your servant, saying, Truly Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom? why then is Adonijah acting as king?
14 Kata Natan selanjutnya, "Nanti, sementara Sri Ratu berbicara dengan raja, saya akan masuk untuk menguatkan apa yang telah dikatakan oleh Sri Ratu."
And while you are still talking there with the king, see, I will come in after you and say that your story is true.
15 Maka pergilah Batsyeba menghadap raja di dalam kamarnya. Raja pada waktu itu sudah sangat tua, dan Abisag, gadis dari Sunem itu, sedang melayaninya.
Then Bath-sheba went into the king's room; now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was waiting on him.
16 Batsyeba sujud di depan raja, lalu raja bertanya, "Kau ingin apa?"
And Bath-sheba went down on her face on the earth before the king giving him honour. And he said, What is your desire?
17 Batsyeba menjawab, "Paduka Yang Mulia, Baginda telah bersumpah kepadaku demi nama TUHAN, Allah Baginda, bahwa putraku Salomo akan menjadi raja menggantikan Baginda.
And she said to him, My lord, you took an oath by the Lord your God and gave your word to your servant, saying, Truly, Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom.
18 Tetapi sekarang dengan tidak diketahui Baginda, Adonia sudah menjadi raja.
And now, see, Adonijah has made himself king without my lord's knowledge;
19 Ia sudah mempersembahkan banyak domba, sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang gemuk-gemuk. Ia sudah pula mengundang ke pesta itu putra-putra Baginda dan Imam Abyatar serta Yoab, panglima angkatan perang Baginda. Tetapi, ia tidak mengundang Salomo.
And has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab, the captain of the army; but he has not sent for Solomon your servant.
20 Paduka Yang Mulia, seluruh rakyat Israel sekarang sedang menanti-nantikan keputusan dari Baginda tentang siapa yang akan menggantikan Baginda menjadi raja.
And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, waiting for you to say who is to take the place of my lord the king after him.
21 Kalau Baginda tidak memberikan keputusan itu, pasti segera sesudah Baginda meninggal, aku dan putraku akan diperlakukan sebagai pengkhianat."
For as things are, it will come about, when my lord the king is sleeping with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son will be made outlaws.
22 Sementara Batsyeba masih berbicara, Nabi Natan tiba di istana.
And while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
23 Lalu raja diberitahukan tentang kedatangan Natan. Batsyeba keluar, dan Natan masuk, lalu sujud di depan raja.
And they said to the king, Here is Nathan the prophet. And when he came in before the king, he went down on his face on the earth.
24 Natan berkata, "Paduka Yang Mulia, apakah Baginda telah mengumumkan bahwa Adonia akan menggantikan Baginda menjadi raja?
And Nathan said, O my lord king, have you said, Adonijah is to be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom?
25 Hari ini juga ia telah mempersembahkan banyak domba, sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang gemuk-gemuk. Semua putra Baginda telah diundangnya. Juga para panglima angkatan bersenjata Baginda, dan Imam Abyatar. Mereka sekarang sedang berpesta dengan dia dan bersorak-sorak, 'Hidup Raja Adonia!'
Because today he has gone down and has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the king's sons to come to him, with the captains of the army and Abiathar the priest; and they are feasting before him and crying, Long life to King Adonijah!
26 Tetapi, ia tidak mengundang saya. Imam Zadok dan Benaya serta Salomo pun tidak diundangnya.
But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not sent for.
27 Apakah Baginda yang menyuruh dia melakukan semuanya ini, tanpa memberitahukan kepada para pegawai Baginda siapa yang akan menggantikan Baginda?"
Has this thing been done by my lord the king, without giving word to your servants who was to be placed on my lord the king's seat after him?
28 Raja Daud berkata, "Panggil Batsyeba." Maka Nabi Natan keluar dan Batsyeba kembali menghadap raja.
Then King David in answer said, Send for Bath-sheba to come to me. And she came in and took her place before the king.
29 Lalu kata Baginda kepadanya, "Memang aku telah berjanji kepadamu, demi nama TUHAN, Allah Israel, bahwa Salomo putramu akan menggantikan aku menjadi raja. Nah, sekarang aku berjanji kepadamu demi TUHAN yang hidup, yang telah melepaskan aku dari segala kesukaranku, bahwa pada hari ini juga aku akan menepati janjiku kepadamu."
And the king took an oath, and said, By the living Lord, who has been my saviour from all my troubles,
As I took an oath to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, Certainly Solomon your son will become king after me, seated on my seat in my place; so will I do this day.
31 Maka sujudlah Batsyeba sambil berkata, "Hiduplah Paduka Raja untuk selama-lamanya!"
Then Bath-sheba went down on her face on the earth before the king giving him honour, and said, May my lord King David go on living for ever.
32 Lalu Raja Daud menyuruh memanggil Zadok, Natan dan Benaya. Setelah mereka datang,
And King David said, Send for Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
33 berkatalah raja kepada mereka, "Panggillah para perwiraku dan pergilah dengan mereka kepada Salomo putraku. Naikkanlah dia ke atas bagalku sendiri, dan bawalah dia ke mata air Gihon.
And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and put Solomon my son on my beast, yes, mine, and take him down to Gihon;
34 Di sana Zadok dan Natan harus melantiknya menjadi raja Israel. Setelah itu kalian harus membunyikan trompet dan bersorak, 'Hidup Raja Salomo!'
And there let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him to make him king over Israel; and sounding the horn say, Long life to King Solomon!
35 Kemudian iringilah dia kembali ke sini untuk menduduki tahtaku, karena dialah yang telah kupilih menjadi raja menggantikan aku untuk memerintah Israel dan Yehuda."
Then come up after him and he will come in and take his place on the seat of my kingdom; for he is to be king in my place, and I have given orders that he is to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
36 "Baik, Yang Mulia," sahut Benaya, "semoga TUHAN, Allah Baginda, menguatkan perintah Baginda itu.
And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answering the king, said, So be it: and may the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say so.
37 Sebagaimana TUHAN telah menyertai Baginda, semoga Ia pun menyertai Salomo juga. Semoga TUHAN membuat pemerintahannya lebih jaya daripada pemerintahan Baginda."
As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon and make the seat of his authority greater than that of my lord King David.
38 Maka Zadok, Natan, Benaya dan pengawal pribadi raja mempersilakan Salomo naik ke atas bagal raja, lalu mereka mengiringinya ke mata air Gihon.
So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down and put Solomon on King David's beast and took him to Gihon.
39 Kemudian Zadok mengambil tempat minyak zaitun yang telah dibawanya dari Kemah TUHAN, lalu ia melantik Salomo dengan memakai minyak itu. Trompet pun dibunyikan dan semua yang hadir di situ bersorak, "Hidup Raja Salomo!"
And Zadok the priest took the vessel of oil out of the Tent, and put the holy oil on Solomon. And when the horn was sounded, all the people said, Long life to King Solomon!
40 Kemudian mereka semuanya mengiringi dia kembali sambil bersorak-sorak dan membunyikan seruling, sehingga tanah seolah-olah akan terbelah karena keramaian itu.
And all the people came up after him, piping with pipes, and they were glad with great joy, so that the earth was shaking with the sound.
41 Adonia dan semua tamunya baru saja selesai berpesta, ketika mereka mendengar keramaian itu. Pada waktu Yoab mendengar bunyi trompet, ia bertanya, "Apa yang terjadi di kota sehingga ramai sekali?"
And it came to the ears of Adonijah and all the guests who were with him, when their meal was ended. And Joab, hearing the sound of the horn, said, What is the reason of this noise as if the town was worked up?
42 Yoab belum lagi selesai berbicara, tiba-tiba datang Yonatan, anak Imam Abyatar, "Mari masuk," kata Adonia. "Engkau orang baik, pasti yang kaubawa, berita yang baik pula."
And while the words were on his lips, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, came; and Adonijah said, Come in; for you are a man of good faith and the news which you have for us will be good.
43 "Maaf, bukan berita baik," jawab Yonatan. "Raja Daud telah mengangkat Salomo menjadi raja!
And Jonathan, answering, said to Adonijah, Not so, but our lord King David has made Solomon king:
44 Zadok, Natan, Benaya dan pengawal pribadi raja sudah disuruh mengiringi Salomo. Mereka telah menaikkannya ke atas bagal raja,
And he sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they put him on the king's beast:
45 dan Zadok serta Natan telah melantiknya di mata air Gihon. Kini mereka telah kembali ke kota sambil bersorak-sorak dengan ramai, dan seluruh kota gempar. Itulah keramaian yang kalian dengar tadi.
And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him and made him king in Gihon; and they came back from there with joy, and the town was all worked up. This is the noise which has come to your ears.
46 Salomo sekarang sudah menjadi raja.
And now Solomon is seated on the seat of the kingdom.
47 Bahkan para perwira raja telah pergi mengucapkan selamat kepada Raja Daud. Mereka berkata, 'Semoga Allah baginda menjadikan Salomo lebih termasyhur daripada baginda; semoga pemerintahan Salomo lebih jaya daripada pemerintahan baginda.' Kemudian di tempat tidurnya, Raja Daud sujud menyembah Allah,
And the king's servants came to our lord King David, blessing him and saying, May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and the seat of his authority greater than your seat; and the king was bent low in worship on his bed.
48 dan berdoa, 'Terpujilah Engkau, ya TUHAN, Allah yang disembah umat Israel. Hari ini seorang dari keturunanku telah Kauangkat menjadi raja menggantikan aku. Dan Engkau telah mengizinkan aku hidup untuk menyaksikannya!'"
Then the king said, May the God of Israel be praised, who has given one of my seed to be king in my place this day and has let my eyes see it.
49 Para tamu Adonia menjadi takut, sehingga mereka semuanya berdiri lalu pergi, masing-masing mengambil jalannya sendiri.
And all the guests of Adonijah got up in fear and went away, every man to his place.
50 Maka sangatlah takut Adonia kepada Salomo, sehingga ia lari ke Kemah TUHAN dan memegang ujung-ujung mezbah di situ.
And Adonijah himself was full of fear because of Solomon; and he got up and went to the altar, and put his hands on its horns.
51 Orang memberitahukan hal itu kepada Raja Salomo. Mereka memberitahukan bahwa karena Adonia sangat takut kepada Salomo, maka ia telah pergi ke mezbah dan memegang ujung-ujung mezbah itu serta berkata, "Saya tidak akan pergi dari sini sebelum Salomo bersumpah kepada saya bahwa ia tidak akan membunuh saya."
And they gave Solomon word of it, saying, See, Adonijah goes in such fear of King Solomon, that he has put his hands on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon first give me his oath that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.
52 Salomo menjawab, "Jika ia berlaku baik, ia tidak akan dihukum sedikit pun; tetapi jika ia berbuat jahat, ia harus dibunuh."
And Solomon said, If he is seen to be a man of good faith, not a hair of him will be touched; but if any wrongdoing is seen in him, he is to be put to death.
53 Lalu raja menyuruh orang pergi mengambil Adonia dari mezbah itu. Maka datanglah Adonia menghadap raja, dan sujud di depannya. Lalu raja berkata, "Kau boleh pulang!"
So King Solomon sent, and they took him down from the altar. And he came and gave honour to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.
